Security when you’re on untrusted network. I can trust Google to snoop my banking data and update the spending power info on my ad profile, I can’t trust the random dude in trench coat also using the public wifi when I am traveling out of my roaming coverage.
I joke of course, but the security aspect is still valid.
What is it that you’re doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support…
What’s left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?
I have this vpn because it comes for free with my Google Drive subscription. I have never used it because it does not do what I expect it to do
But it’s included…. Ples give your data
what’s the utility of the vpn then???
